quality file includes details of individual video and audio tracks.
One of the entries is usually expanded, showing full details for a particular location, including
the path (URI) of the file. You may collapse the entry onto a single line.
Selection of multiple assets
If you select multiple assets in the results pane, the Property Editor organizes their files in
groups. There are two ways in which it can do this:

It can group files that are in the same location. So, broadcast files on an iTX Media Store
are in one group; proxy files are in another; and so on.
By clicking View By Asset or View By Location, you can switch the Property Editor between two
views, based on the way groups are formed.
